To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC SEITZMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New .York, have invented new and useful in- Paper-Box Construction,

Improvements of which the following is a specification.

Thegeneral object of the invention is to effect a simple and efiicient connection between thev side wall and end plate of a pasteboard receptacle. And to this end the invention consists in providing a bearing portion arranged at an angle to one of the parts of the box so that the said part may be readily glued or otherwise suitably fastened thereto and thereby strengthened against easy collapsing or detachment from the other part of the box.

Other objects will appear and be better understood from that embodiment of my invention of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompany 'ing I drawings forming part hereof, in

'Which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a'. box constructed in accordance with my invention Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective of the lower end portion of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail cross section on the line 33 of Fig. 1. 30

Fig. 4 is a detail verticalsection-of a modified form. Figs. 5 and 6 are views similar to Fig. 4 of furthermodifications. Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 2 of a still further modification. 1 I

In the form shownin Fig. 1 the body a is of paste-board and as shown is cylindrical in contour. It will, of course, be understood that I do not intend to be limitedv to this particular contour of box, since my invention aboutto be described may be emp'loyed in connection with boxes of rectangular or other angular contour. The lower end portion of the body a as shown 'in Figs. 3 and 4, is bent inwardly and at right angles and notched soas toprovide tongues 5, the lower surfaces of which are glued to the" marginal portion of the bottom 6. This inturning of the lower end portion provides a relatively wide bearing portion for the said bottom 6 and serves to enable the same to withstand a considerable amount of upward pressure when such pressure is applied to the exterior of the said bottom. In addi-. tion to reinforcing. the said bottom so as to withstand upward pressure as just described, I provide an" angular-shaped strip '7, one of the sides of plane parallel with which is glued to the outer face of the body a and the other side of which as shown in Fig. 2, is hotched to provide tongues 8 which are glued to the outer face of the bottom 6, the said tongues 8 as viewed in Fig. 4, being arranged in a the tongues 5. The provision of the tongues 7 forms a relatively large bearing surface for the bottom 6 and thus braces the same so as to withstand'a relatively great amount of downward pressure.

With the form shown-in Fig. 5 the lower portion 9 of the bodylO is inturned and bears on the bottom 11- so that this inturned portion 9 performs the same function as pointed out for the tongues 8 in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive. In connection with Fig. 5, however, the marginal portion of the bottom 11 is-bent upwardly at right angles and cutso as to provide the tongues 12 which are glued to the inner face of the body 10 and thus brace the bottom to withstand a considerable amount of upward pressure, as pointed out for the tongues 5 in Figs. 3 and 4. In order to supplement the bracing effect afforded by the inturned portion 9 and tongues 12, I provideta wire 13 and arrange the same at the juncture of the portions 9 and 10 and paste a band 14 on the lower part of the body 10. Then over the band and inturned portion 9, 'I glue an angularshaped strip 15 of textile material.

In the form shown in Fig. 6 the, body 16 and bottom 17 are connected together by an angular-shaped strip 18 the parts, as shown. 1

In the form shown in Fig. 7, the lower portion 'of the body .19 is inturned and notched to provide tongues 20 which are glued to the lower face of the bottom 21. While the forms shown in Figs. 6 and 7 are not as effectively braced as the form shown in Figs. 1 to 5, nevertheless. with these forms the bottom is effectively braced against giving under the contents of the body of the box and the structures are at once simple'and cheap and will answer for boxes in which relatively light material is packed.

The cover 22 in Fig. 1, has the'lower portion of its skirt 23 bent upon itself and glued so as to strengthen the skirt against bending or tearing and being placed-upon or removed from the body. In connectingthetop 24 of the cover to the skirt 23, any of UNITED STATES PATENT or ricnl which is glued to the structures shown in Figs. 2 to 7 inclusive, may be employed to efi'ect the connectio' What is-claimed as new is: p

A paper receptacle comprising a body provided at its end with an inturned flange, an end closure fitting snugly within the body and having. an indented edge portion which fits in close contact against the inner surface of the body, said flange lying against the outer surface of said closure, a strip having angularly disposed edge portions which lie in'close contact with the outer surfaces of the body and the flange and a wire located between the strip and the'15/ ISAAC SEITZMAN.
